[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1275277, member: 21194"] You probably have plenty of ideas by now, but here's how I do mine. For calves, I just use commercial pre-printed tags, and record which calf's tag goes with which cow. The calves that are sold keep these tags, and at the auction barn I have them record the tag numbers on the sheet where they write the back tag numbers. For heifers I keep, they get a new ear tag when I take them to the vet for their shots. The calves I weaned this year are numbers 015, 115, 215, etc. That way I know at a glance out in the pasture how old a cow is. And if I want to know her dam I pull out my phone and look it up.
